Compy stalls for a few seconds while closing programs.(x-fi

It all started when i put my xtreme music in my compy. it runs good and sounds great, until after running a game or just having it on for a while it starts stalling when exiting firefox or just explorer windows. Its very strange, it only happens if the window or program being closed it the last one on the screen. for example, if i had firefox and a window open, close firefox-no stall, close the window and it stalls. The stalls go like this, right when i click to exit the window it seems like everything freezes exept for the mouse(but if you click like 5 times the mouse will freeze too and there is an error beep from the case speaker) after about 5 to 0 seconds everything will come back to normal until i open and close another window and i get the same thing all over again. it also takes forever to shut down windows because it freezes after every program it shuts down. there are no errors in the event viewer and all my temps and voltages seem to be ok. i dunno what to do anymore, maybe someone has had this before (i hope).
specs:
Windows XP SP2
AMD 64 athlon 3000+
RAM: gig kingmax ddr400
Video: ATi Radeon x850xtpe 6.2 cat drivers (6.4 screws up planetside)
Sound: Creative x-fi extreme music
mobo: A-bit NF8 with nVidia 250gb chipset i believe (latest bios/drivers)
PSU: 450watts

I have the exact same problem! I have an HP all in one printer hooked up to my network. I used Ctrl-Alt-Del and stopped all of the processes starting with hp and the delay is gone. So there seems to be a problem with the HP and Soundcard compatibility. Right now I will give up some printer functions rather than put up with that delay. I hope they are working on a fix!!

    My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
    I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed?  Please reply.

    Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
    What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
    I hope I am clear.
    Kindly help

    I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

  • Theme audio plays for first few seconds of menu before dropped audio

    I created my first iDVD movie, and added a .wav file to the main menu. I also used a theme from iDVD4 (montage). When I preview the movie, however (and after burning, this is also on the final DVD), the theme audio plays very loudly for a few seconds while the main menu is booting up, before kicking over to the added audio. Is there any way to make this themed audio clip (which does not appear anywhere, all the audio wells have my added audio clip) disappear, so that I don't have to hear blindingly loud music for 5 second while the DVD boots up the main menu?

  • Acrobat 7 freezes for a few seconds at every startup

    I am hoping someone can please enlighten me as to why Acrobat 7 freezes for a few seconds everytime the program is started.  If starting the program directly from executing the associated pdf file, the program loads the first page, freezes (stops responding) for approx 6 to 8 seconds, then responds to user interface again.
    It is not the machine as I have the same problem on many different machines.  Help please.

    Disabling hardware acceleration seemed to solve the problem. Thank you all very much, but before I close this thread as solved, I've always had that feature enabled to the best of my knowledge. Why did it suddenly cause problems?

  • While actively using the iPhone 5, Apple logo will randomly appear for a few seconds, then show up at the lock screen

    This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen an iPhone do.  I recently got the iPhone 5 from Verizon, 16GB (if that even matters) running iOS 6.0 respectively.  This has happened 3-5 times since I started using it last Friday when they started to deliver.  When this incident occurs, I'll be using my phone, as in it's unlocked and it's not just sitting.  Then, the Apple logo will appear and if I didn't know any better, I'd think my phone was turning on.  However, it only stays that way for a few seconds until it shows the lock screen, imitaing a startup.  The weird thing is, the startup time is ~30 seconds everytime I turn my device off and turn it back on.  This incident where it'll appear to be just turning on while I'm using the phone will only last for ~5 seconds.  Plus, during the incident, it nevers actually turns off the display or goes completely black.  It'll just snap directly from me using the phone to the Apple logo, then the lock screen after a few seconds.  Also, cellular services are immediately recognized after the incident, when starting up it usually take about 30 seconds.  I can't confirm this or not, but I believe this incident occurs when I press the home button to exit an app.  However, when it happens it strikes me by surprise and I can't confirm or not if this happens only when I'm exiting an app.  Not sure if this is an iPhone 5 specific problem or an iOS 6 problem...I can't really assume it's a bad power connection, since like I said it doesn't imitate a full startup of the phone, it just goes throught the screens (Apple logo -> lock screen.)
    And as a side note, I restart my phone daily.  And as rare of a problem this is, I'm not going to restore or wipe my phone and start fresh.  Just wanted to see if there was anybody else experiencing this problem and to make the problem aware. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen. 

  • TS3276 I use Mail for my email and lately, if I get an email coming in while writing one, the program freezes for a few seconds. Frustrating.

    I have a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I use Mail for my email. Just in the past 2 -3 months, if I'm writing an email while another one is coming in to the inbox, the program freezes, the spinning colour ball appears and I can't continue typing for 5 seconds or more. I get and write a lot of emails so it's frustrating.
    I've also noticed that sending messages is taking longer than it used to. The program spins its wheels for a few seconds before sending. Definitely noticeably longer than prior to this situation. Any ideas anyone?

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Dock disappears for a few seconds and minimized apps open up

    Hello
    My dock at the bottom of the display will disappear for a few seconds and at the same time, my minimized open applications will open up. This usually happens when I'm running a few light applications at once. It almost seems to "gulp" or catch it's breath.
    I'm not sure if this is related but for the second time since purchasing the machine the dock is showing a sort of double reflection at the very bottom. An open application has what looks like two lit triangles underneath the icon instead of the usual one triangle. The same area at the bottom of the dock shows a very tiny "bottom" of the page I have open, in this case Safari. It also moves left and right as I move the open page left and right. If I move the page down, the sliver at the bottom of the dock moves up.
    This is only the second time this has happened. The first time it went away on it's own and today it's back. It's not troublesome at all but I'm just wondering what may be causing these symptoms.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

    Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%.  All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

    I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
    I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

  • Audio cuts out at times for a few seconds with VOD

    While watching VOD the audio will cut out at times when the program is playing.  I have reset the boxes, and router with no change.  I have read on a post that someone had pixilation issues and the Verizon techs hooked up a cat5e from the ONT directly into the router, which solved her issues.  Is this something I can do, and will it help my issues?

    Today I tried to find the answer to my question, again... And tot my surprise I found it!! When I played music with winamp I saw in the systemtray that the Creative volumecontrol actually did mute the sound automatically for a few seconds. The reason for this I don't know. In de surround mixer I clicked standard. Music is playing ok now., no more interupptions. Seems to me something is wrong with the Creative software.....

  • Audio cuts out for a few seconds

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
    When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
    Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
    Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
    If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
    thanks in advance

    Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
    I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

  • Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

    Hello all!
    My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
    This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
    After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
    I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
    - uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
    - starting Firefox in safe mode
    - using different antivirus software
    - reinstalling Firefox
    I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
    So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox freezes every few minutes for a few seconds.

    Firefox keeps freezing every few minutes, for a few seconds at a time. It's infuriating. It just happened right now while I was typing "infuriating". It's happened since I installed the Facebook Video Chat Plug-In, but I uninstalled that and it keeps happening.

    Probably an over active security or "cleaning" program that's kicking in every few minutes and messing with Firefox.
